Default 997.1 GT3 accident

In the South Island of New Zealand, Queenstown. Written off for sure.

"We were going at the speed limit, so I'm not sure what happened. It was pretty scary."

You need to keep the rubber side down, Sam!

'"....After Porsche crashes and rolls over"? Why do these kind of titles bug me? Porsches don't just crash by themselves. It is like society today doesn't want to take ANY responsibility to ANYTHING we do. You don't "get fired" you "lose your job". You don't stop paying your mortgage and default on your loan, but instead you "lose your house". The list goes on and on. I guess we never want to "trigger" anyone.

Well, I see the skid marks coming out of that corner just up the road. I see virtually no tread on the outside shoulder of the front tire, and the primary cause might be that it's hard to drive well in skinny jeans. Just glad he wasn't speeding.

Poor car though. Might be a used GT3 engine up for sale.

It looks like he might have swung wide at the turn and over corrected causing a swerve and lost control. Driver error I would think. Look at this picture in the back ground. You see tire tracks swerving at the far left of corner and then jet back to the right.
